PR Newswire (US)
CHICAGO, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Methode Development Company, a
business unit of Methode Electronics, Inc., announces a new
conductive ink formulated for thermal inkjet systems. Methode's new
water-based ink is called product #9101 and is highly conductive
when printed with a resolution of 600 dots per inch (DPI). The
printability and conductivity of the ink will be on display at the
NIP24/Digital Fabrication 2008 Conference in Pittsburgh, PA from
Monday, September 8 until Thursday, September 11, 2008 in the
Conference Gallery. Specific applications will also be discussed
during the session titled Evaluation of Conductive Inks for
Anti-Counterfeiting. The conductive properties are well-suited for
the growing printed electronics market. Security printing, RFID,
signage, displays, backplane, photovoltaics and security markets
require the efficient and cost effective manufacturing alternative
of thermal inkjet printing. The thermal inkjet formulation contains
conductive silver nano-particles, and does not require secondary
curing or additional processing. Near full conductivity is achieved
within a few minutes of printing. The ink is RoHS-compliant and
negligible volatile organic compounds (VOC's) are created during
printing, alleviating the need for specialized ventilation during
application. When printed on glossy photo-grade paper, it has a
uniform, metallic-gold appearance that is demanded by converters
for decorative applications. For more technical information, please
